I can’t remember where my boyhood figures went but hope they made others happy.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-7364082818587201322020-07-28T13:13:04.228+01:002020-07-28T13:13:04.228+01:00Looking at the Wyeth picture I can’t help but thin...Looking at the Wyeth picture I can’t help but think of John Cleese in Time Bandits. “Have you met the poor?”<br /><br />It’s great that you’re tackling these restorations. Such a lot of work on what might have been inexpensive toys in their day, but possibly you’re returning some small boy’s treasured possessions to former glory.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-46068991867789760772020-07-28T07:31:59.672+01:002020-07-28T07:31:59.672+01:00More about him anon.

Sometimes I do wonder why the figures are damaged the way they are. These have been a tad brittle to work on and have not taken the drill easily at all.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-35065628571447360472020-07-28T07:26:51.361+01:002020-07-28T07:26:51.361+01:00Great work Tradgardmastare - there wasn't much...Great work Tradgardmastare - there wasn't much left to work with on the red figure!

They are a perfect size to use as quarter staffs or spears with 54mm figures. I am slightly less pleased with the lunging sword arm useage but it was worth a go. . Painted silver it should look not too bad. I am really enjoying those Robin Hood figures and will have a look at the link you sent. The Wyeth paintings have inspired me a great deal. tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-89998448466125757152020-07-28T07:18:25.404+01:002020-07-28T07:18:25.404+01:00Cocktail sticks are very versatile and I am deligh...Cocktail sticks are very versatile and I am delighted how helpful the vice I bought at the start of lockdown has been.
